Not likely a patch thing though I do have to mention it:

Just saw my first booth review on a scoring play since the DEMO. I really thought they had taken it out of the final game.

# 62 infemous @ 10/18/11 12:22 AM

Anyone noticing an improvement in playaction?

Also with the stats thing, and will Custom Playbooks work in Online Franchise and Community games now?

I really do not understand how on earth Custom Playbooks are not in the only modes where it's actually of use.

Just had a franchise freeze. Fields do look better though they could look even better, rain games have been reduced but hopefully not completely removed, crowd noise is noticebly louder and overall more accurate to what's going on during the game, still need to see the generated free agents and imported draft classes appearance fixed. There are still a good amount of problems so hopefully there will be a third patch.

not available in new zealand yet

# 65 Foo4Everlong @ 10/18/11 12:34 AM

Is there an option to play with Breast Cancer Awareness Month Mode in Exhibition, ala Super Bowl and Holidays, like they added last year via patch? Just curious, as not always do I play a franchise, but still like to see the October realism. Thanks! Later

So we've had one guy say that the patch worked in current Franchises and another that did not. Which is it?

Bravo. Applause

Glad you PS3 guys got some issues sorted out. I was hoping the 360 patch would get out early too, but I guess not.

# 69 xElway7x @ 10/18/11 12:59 AM

Does the patch affect current franchises? I really wanna start one, but the 360 patch isn't out yet.

# 70 JaZart @ 10/18/11 01:02 AM

How's the gameplay? Any significant differences besides the qb sneak glitch? The other issues seem to have been cleaned up nicely. Did any tuner release also for the super lbs?

Hope this doesn't get me kicked off of OS, but that's a stupid rule.

How are we not allowed to criticize the developers of the game if we aren't happy with what they've done? EA isn't a person, and the developers' jobs are to give us the customers a product we want and are happy with. I don't see how saying that this patch is fail is necessarily a bad thing, or should be deemed as breaking the terms and conditions.

Disclaimer: I cannot download the patch yet, so cannot comment, I just find this an interesting aspect of OS. Why aren't we allowed to? It's not like we're victimising a person, and it's not like some of these comments with regards to EA are without base.

# 72 DNMHIII @ 10/18/11 01:14 AM

Sweet! I just tried to re-create my custom playbook because EA claimed they fixed the formation BS that they couldn't get right the first time only to find out all the added shotgun formations go under the Hail Mary formation.

Well done EA....You never stop letting me down. Keep up the great work.

There is a huge difference in criticizing the developers and bashing them i am assuming if you you criticize constructively then that would be fine but to straight out bash them and call them names that is a huge no no if i am wrong i am sure i will be corrected.

I can verify it does work for existing chises. Game 1 in my Giants chise was always a rain game and now it isn't. Player roles still don't work if your roster was edited before hand though.

Why in the world would this be changed? This happens, and more often then people think. You see it in one game nearly every week. It's still very tough to do, at least for me. But, I've always been able to get a few blocked FG's and punts every year. I just like that occassionally you'll see a player you're not controlling get in there.

Although, no blocked punts for me yet...which used to be the easier of the 2. Has anyone been able to block punts? I can't even get close!

# 76 andyacecandy @ 10/18/11 01:41 AM

It does seem more fluid. One thing I've noticed is the QB being able to actually throw the ball away instead of taking forever and taking a sack. It's nice to see... I think I've even seen animations with QBs throwing it wildly while being hit (better than taking a sack)

Maybe I'm just seeing things

I expected that. It's nice to know I won't have to restart my Steelers Franchise in year 4

This makes sense. What better way to make a better game then to read complaints about a game? I'm sure the devs, however, don't want to go through a thread that just bashes them every post. But, constructive critism should be promoted.

As for the original post that kicked off this TOS thing, I agree with his frustration. The pop thing should have never happened in the first place. And it should also have been addressed in this patch. It should be addressed immediately anytime a game causes issues and potential damage to any other products you own. It's also something that EA should address from a PR standpoint. It's one thing to find a bug that may ruin the fun for some, but it's a completely different story to find a bug that could ruin you speaker!

Like you said...about one game a week. So you should block about 1 FG or PAT per season.

# 80 LionsFanNJ @ 10/18/11 01:57 AM

Awesome, the fields look great now. I love it. My playbooks have to be done over but now everything is where it should be, good.

the Bad? that damn audio pop is still there. Will be playing the game with the volume lowered in my headset from now on then.
